Average scores range between 85 and 115. In order to be eligible for Early Intervention, a child must have a score of 77 or below, which is a 1.5 standard deviation below the average. Children determined eligible on the BDI-2 are eligible for one year.

The Early Intervention Screening Process The early intervention evaluation process begins with a screening to determine if a child could have developmental disabilities. A trained early childhood development professional conducts the initial screening like a pediatrician or an early interventionist.

Evaluation involves gathering information from a variety of sources about a child's functioning and development in all areas of suspected disability, including information provided by the parent. The evaluation may look at cognitive, behavioral, physical, and developmental factors, as well as other areas.

Assessment is defined as "the ongoing procedures used by qualified personnel to identify the child's unique strengths and needs and the services appropriate to meet those needs and includes the assessment of the child and the assessment of the child's family."

To help parents and their child, an Early Intervention Evaluation is a service funded by the federal government and is available for all children between the ages of 0 to 3 years, at no cost to you. The evaluation is designed to assess your child's development and if needed, provide a plan of action.
